3 guests' feedbackIn the room next to the master: The toilet seat must be replaced, the wood is swollen. Water from the shower escapes under the door in 2nd bedroom from the patio. One wooden chair outside on the patio was broken. Too little cutlery for a large group. No scissors, I had to ask for one. No dishwashing tablets were provided. Not enough Sunlight Liquid provided.
Enjoyed the fireplace at night and outdoor braai area. Clean and lots of room for a large group.
The house was fantastic with lots of space for the kids. We had a great time, barbecued, biked! Will be back for sure!
